Scope and Contents

The paper discusses the misconception that the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service do not or cannot serve off-reservation Indians. It documents that both BIA and Indian Health Services do in fact serve off-reservation Indians, that such service is legal, and that off-reservation Indians have as great a moral claim to such service as reservation Indians.
